C                 F         C
I've never been a religious man
                           G
I never went to church as a kid
C                          F          C
This here damn mess that I got myself in
          G           C
Now kinda wish that I did

C                   F       C
I got arrested when I was eighteen
                   G
Me and a few of my friends
C                    F        C
They all got off but I didn't win
                G        C
I'll never be a free man again

C                   F          C
Nobody know's where I am right now
                          G
I don't think that nobody care's
C                               F       C
I've been here locked up in the prison downtown
             G          C
It's been my home three years

F                     C
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
                            G
Put away in this lonely old cell
C                            F          C
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
              G             C
Jesus can you get me out of jail

C                             F            C
When I was young I had dreams, goals in my life
                             G
Things I always knew I would do
C                              F           C
Like have a house and a wife, a child or two
                       G         C
These dreams will now never come true

F                     C
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
                            G
Put away in this lonely old cell
C                            F          C
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
              G             C
Jesus can you get me out of jail

C                 F            C
I always wondered when my time come's
                   G
Wich way I'm gonna go
C                E         F       C
Well I hope that I can fly high up above
                      G         C        A     C
Cause I don't want to burn down below

F                     C
I'm gonna be here the rest of my life
                            G
Put away in this lonely old cell
C                            F          C
One day I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in hell
              G             C
Jesus can you get me out of jail

Some men are good some men are bad
Some men are somewhere in between
What ever you do don't end up like me
This here's the worst place that I've ever seen
